Chapter 5: Visiting Lanruo Temple in person (Part 2)

After everyone walked for a while, the sun had completely set.

The howling mountain wind seemed to be getting stronger at this time, causing the torches in everyone's hands to sway, making people's faces turn light and dark, adding a bit of weirdness.

Suddenly, Ouyang Xuan frowned because he smelled a smell of rotten flesh, which was disgusting.

"Master, what's the smell?" Ouyang Xuan looked at Yu Zhenzi.

"It's the smell of rotten corpses, and there are more than one, there are many!" Yu Zhenzi's face became solemn. Intuitively, he felt that this time the opponent was not simple.

Ouyang Xuan was shocked and said, "It seems that there are many people who have died here, so we should be careful."

"Yes. Everyone is careful, there may be a fierce battle tonight." Yumako said.

"Yes, Master!" Several little Taoists immediately felt as if they were facing a great enemy, as if a few demons with fangs and claws could emerge from the dense forest beside them at any time.

Everyone was still moving forward, but they were more cautious.

Gradually, the smell of rotten corpses became stronger and stronger, and everyone could not speak because they were just trying to cover their noses with their hands, otherwise Xun would be killed.

Suddenly, everyone suddenly felt a bright light in front of them, and their bodies suddenly became empty.

There is a huge open space at present. At this moment, the open space is full of dead people, placed everywhere.

Under the cold moonlight, these dead people were like a group of wax people, their faces were sallow, their eyes widened in horror, and their hands were facing the sky, as if they were asking for help.

These dead people were basically rotten and had no clothes left. It was impossible to tell when and when they died, and the strong smell of rotten corpse emanated from them.

Behind this open space, there is an ancient temple covering an area of ​​more than ten acres: yellow tiles and red walls, and golden lacquer plaques. However, it has long been very dilapidated, and even the golden lacquer plaques are a bit gray and dim and shaky.

However, you can still see the golden lacquer characters on the plaque clearly, which is "Lanruo Temple"!

However, at this moment, the "Lanruo Temple" does not look like a solemn and peaceful temple at all, but rather a ghostly underworld.

In an instant, everyone's steps stopped uncontrollably. The firelight reflected everyone's faces, all of them turned blue, and a layer of fine cold sweat suddenly oozed out of their foreheads.

"It's all mummies. Some of them may have been dead for hundreds of years, but they have not been completely corrupt yet. I don't know what the reason is." Yu Zhenzi's face was a little complicated.

However, no one replied.

Yu Zhenzi turned around and looked at her apprentices. The young men were obviously not in good condition. Some people had cold sweats on their foreheads, while others were pale and vomiting.

"Amitabha Buddha." Yu Zhenzi made a sound and said solemnly: "Disciples, we are the ones who are the ones who are despising demons and treat life and death as a way to save lives and death. How can we be afraid? Don't panic, follow us closely as our teachers."

"Yes, Master!" Several young Taoist priests looked a little ashamed.

Ouyang Xuan was not afraid at this time, but just felt a little disgusted. Anyone who saw so many corpses with ugly appearances would probably feel this way.

"Master, the atmosphere here is too weird, I'm afraid the temple is extremely dangerous." Ouyang Xuan calmed down and his face was solemn.

"Well, but since I'm here, there is no reason to retreat. Fellow Daoyang, let's go and meet these evil demons." Yu Zhenzi's voice was filled with a hint of murderous aura.

Indeed, seeing so many people died here, you know that the demons in the "Lanruo Temple" must have their hands covered with blood.

"Okay!" Ouyang Xuan nodded, looking extremely alert. If something happens, the terrible 'Samadhi True Fire' will erupt in an instant and burn the attacker to charcoal.

Everyone carefully walked through the corpse all over the ground and approached the "Lanruo Temple".

Gradually, everyone approached the temple gate and found that the front door of the "Lanruo Temple" was filled with thick dust, and the door was covered with spider webs, which looked lifeless.

Ouyang Xuan was about to go forward and push the door, but Yu Zhenzi stopped him and shook his head slightly.

Ouyang Xuan was surprised, Yu Zhenzi suddenly raised the whisk and said loudly: "Amitabha Buddha, the evil demons in the temple are listening, you are so guilty that you are killing sentient beings, and you are still very guilty. You are not lost and you will be able to surrender!?"

After the words, there was a long silence, and the only response was the cold wind.

Ouyang Xuan couldn't help but shrugged: Just kidding, these demons have killed so many people, they must be extremely vicious people. How could they die obediently after hearing a few words from you?

Yu Zhenzi frowned and waved her hand: "Disciples, go forward and push the door."

"Yes, Master!" Several young Taoists plucked up their courage and stepped forward to push the door.

Unexpectedly, after using the strength to feed, the temple gate was still not moving, which surprised Ouyang Xuan and Yu Zhenzi.

"Master, let me do it." Ouyang Xuan said.

"Okay, let's go, disciple." Yu Zhenzi looked at Ouyang Xuan, and wanted to know how capable he was.

Several little Taoist priests retreated, Ouyang Xuan quickly stepped forward, his eyes suddenly slashed, and he punched him.

The fierce fist roared towards the solid temple gate, and when it was about to hit it, a blazing flame suddenly ejected.

"Boom--" With a shocking sound, the hard temple gate instantly shattered and burned in dazzling flames. Before it landed, it had burned to ashes.

In the horrified eyes of Yu Zhenzi and the little Taoist priests, Ouyang Xuan clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Master Yu Zhenzi, please!"

"Fellow Daoist Ouyang is indeed a master." Yu Zhenzi admired her face: "Disciples, go!"

Several people walked towards the temple gate one by one. Suddenly, a rotten smell that had been accumulated for many years mixed with a sharp and stern wind blew out of the temple, covering everyone in an instant.

For a moment, everyone's faces turned blue and white, and they all hurriedly held their breath, almost half-smelled to death.

Finally, the cold wind passed, and with the light of the torch, everyone began to look at the situation inside the temple gate, but they all took a breath.

Here is a hall, and the ground is still full of mummies: some are so rotten that they reveal their skeletons, keeping their struggles during their lifetime; some are in pain and look up at the sky, stretching out their hands high, as if they want to grab something; some are holding their throats tightly, looking terrified, as if they see a ghost.

And facing everyone, there was a Buddha statue, a brass Buddha statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

However, due to no one's care for many years, the Buddha statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is full of green copper rust, and mixed with its own yellow to form a strange color, and the face that should have been kind and majestic became ferocious and terrifying. It seemed that this was not a Bodhisattva, but a King of Hell.

Seeing this tragic phenomenon, even Ouyang Xuan, who thought he was brave, couldn't help swallowing his saliva secretly, and his heart jumped wildly.

"Wow—!" Finally, the little Taoist priests couldn't help it, and they all bent down and vomited wildly for a while, and some of them were so angry that they were almost sweating.

It seems that these little Taoist priests are all new and young, and have never seen any world.

"Amitabha Buddha!" ​​Yu Zhenzi said loudly in dissatisfaction and said loudly: "Stand up straight for me and recite the 'Clean Mantra'. Look at how well you look like a bear."

The master was harsh and the little Taoist priests were startled. They quickly straightened their waists, calmed down, and started to say a word.

Sure enough, with the thought of this "clear heart mantra", the faces of several young Taoists gradually changed from pale and rosy, and gradually returned to normal.

Yu Zhenko nodded with satisfaction and said loudly: "Fresh, bring the yellow paper!"

"Yes, Master!" A little Taoist priest handed Yu Zhenzi a small shoulder bag.

Yu Zhenzi took it, slapped it on her body, reached out to make a few pieces of yellow paper from it, and scattered it into the sky, murmured: "It is safe for people to die. Go to the underworld, don't stay, it has harmed people! Amitabha Buddha--"

Looking at the yellow paper flying in the air, Ouyang Xuan shook his head: Can this work?

Suddenly, he saw a staircase behind the statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, with red carvings leading directly to the second floor.

"Master, the stairs are there, let's go and take a look." Ouyang Xuan said.

"Well, the coffins of the charity village are usually parked on the second floor, and the disciples are here to follow the teacher." Yu Zhenzi scattered yellow paper and strided forward and took the lead in going upstairs.

Ouyang Xuan and a few little Taoist priests then climbed the stairs and climbed uneasily to the second floor as if they could break at any time.

As soon as they went up the second floor, everyone was stunned again:

Two torches were actually lit on the second floor, but the firelight of the torches was actually green, like a ghost fire in the underworld, which made Ouyang Xuan and others' faces turn gray.

And under this swaying green fire, there are countless dead coffins, which are parked on the wide floor slabs in turn.

In an instant, a terrible aura that only exists in hell hits us.

"Evil Demon, I haven't appeared yet, so when will I wait?" Yu Zhenzi suddenly shouted loudly, shocking the world.

In an instant, "Bang bang bang bang bang..." There was a rapid sound around me, which seemed very terrifying when it was late at night.

Ouyang Xuan was shocked and looked carefully and saw that all the coffins on the second floor were trembling, as if there was a fierce spirit sleeping for hundreds of years in each coffin.

These evil spirits seemed to be unable to bear the eternal claustrophobia in the dark world, and were restlessly about to break out of the coffin. Gradually, dead black ghost claws stretched out from the coffin, and then pushed the coffin lid desperately to one side. The long nails kept slashing on the coffin lid, making a strange sound of "ticaca".

"It's zombies, many zombies, I'm in trouble now." Yu Zhenko suddenly said with a terrifying look.

"Master, what should I do?" When several young Taoists saw that the enemy's lineup was so large, they couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Ouyang Xuan suddenly sneered: I thought they were some great "characters". It turned out they were just zombies. Come on, you will never be more powerful than Mao Zombie!

Suddenly, "Boom-Boom-Boom-..." There was a loud noise, and the coffin lids flew out violently.

Immediately afterwards, countless zombies stood up straight from the lid of the coffin, stared at Ouyang Xuan and others with their dead eyes, and their bloody fangs emitted a cold murderous aura.

Ouyang Xuan urgently swept his eyes and immediately judged the degree of zombies' strength: most of them are purple zombies, purple bodies, purple hair; more than ten white zombies, extremely thin body, white face and white hair; four green zombies, one face green, and green hair spread over the shoulders.

Sure enough, there are no hair zombies, but there are as many as hundreds of zombies, and the attack power of this scale is really terrifying. No wonder this forest has become a chaotic forbidden area for many years, and it turns out that there are so many demons hidden.

"Donor, let me do it." Yu Zhenzi strode forward and suddenly shouted: "The evil demon is crooked, don't be crazy, hurry-!"

Yu Zhenzi waved her sleeves and suddenly countless starlight burst out from the sky. These starlights jumped and flew towards the zombies that were about to move.

Suddenly, when these "starlights" encountered those thin zombies, they immediately started to burn, causing many zombies to roar and roar, and flames churned up and down, and white smoke was emitted.

It turns out that these shining "stars" are all "glutinous rice" that Yumako has used magic power!

"Chi——" Some zombies with low magic power could not stand the roasting of "glutinous rice". They suddenly melted and disappeared, turning into a ball of green air floating in the air.

But more zombies spewed out a mouthful of blood, extinguished the flames on their bodies, then roared and jumped out of the coffin and rushed towards Yu Zhenzi.

Looking at the dense enemies, Yu Zhenzi was a little panicked. The so-called "fist is afraid of enemies" probably means this.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ouyang Xuan hurriedly stopped Yu Zhenzi and shouted: "Master, don't panic, look at me."
